Does anybody knows what does that mean?
yum info liboil gives me 2 answers:
Name : liboil
Arch : i386
Version: 0.2.2
Release: 1.1.fc3.rf
Size : 865 k
Repo : installed
and
Name : liboil
Arch : i386
Version: 0.3.0
Release: 1
Size : 102 k
Repo : fedora-extras
So I'd think the addition of *fedora-extras* repo to my repos
(yesterday) may have something to do with it, but I'm too novice to
know anything more than that. :-)
I have my repos installed in *.repo files:
$] ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
atrpms.repo fedora.repo kde-redhat.repo
dag.repo fedora-updates.repo kde-stable.repo_old
fedora-devel.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo livna-stable.repo
fedora-extras.repo freshrpms.repo
where only the /stable/ parts are enabled.
I'd really appreciate any hints here.
It would seem that fedora extras conflicts with the rpmforge repos
(Dag & friends), which will come as no great surprise to anybody.
Paul.
Great :-(
So, what should I do to get updates? Disable one of them or just wait
until they resolve the conflicts?
Yes, disable one of them. Don't hold your breath waiting for the
conflicts to be resolved either, it probably isn't going to happen.
See http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#D
I'd suggest adding "enabled=0" to one of the repos and then when you
want to install/update something from that repo, use:
# yum --enablerepo=blah.blah install packagename
Paul.
Thanks Paul, I'll do that. BTW, the web page makes no mentio of
fedora-extras. Just a matter of time?
